After yesterday's Varen shave, I wanted to stick to the same theme today. Brut-ally good.

With a shave like this, I wonder why I use anything else. Maybe it's because variety makes things fun... Anyway, great shave. 10/10.
Using a new-to-me brush and razor for the first time on loan from a Discord friend. The brush is super nice, and I really enjoyed the razor but had a pretty rough shave. The combo of a new blade and a new razor was not exactly kind to my chin!

Happy Friday!

Great Rive Gauche dupe, really glad to have gotten this! Forgotten how solid of a base Stirling makes. Affordable and really easy to work with to make a great lather.
